Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb leg, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and mix until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, you can use a griddle pan on the stovetop.
Step 4
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, approximately 4-5 pieces per skewer.
Step 5
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is fully cooked and lightly charred on the outside.
Step 6
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the grilled lamb skewers warm, with your choice of sides such as a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or a light couscous dish.
